As 2013 is gonna be ending in about 20mins, I would like to take this time to post a short post.

Firstly, I am very sorry for not blogging much ever since my job change a few months back.

Although things are slowly getting into place and by right I am supposed to have settled down and get back on track onto blogging but things just isn't easy for me.

Just mid this month, my dad was diagnosed with cancer, again, after a full clean health report just a few months back in September.

But the worst thing, it is not a relapse. It's a total new cancer. My dad seemed to be getting better before I flew off to New York just a week before Christmas but on Christmas Eve, I received really bad news of my dad's condition when I was in Japan.

And no, my dad has not been getting any better since.

My dad is still in ICU and is getting worst every single day.

To everyone reading this, I know you most likely do not know my dad but if possible, could you just pray for him even once?

Just before flying off to New York, my dad was still telling me that we wanna go to Korean next year to visit my sister when she's gonna be there studying just like what they did when I was in Japan for my training.

And also, I wanna bring my dad to see sakura no matter how not interested did he looked, I could see that he was still happy that I wanna bring him on a vacation.

And now, the only response my dad can give me is a blink or shake my hand.

This may not be the best post to be read or be posted right before ending the year but this is how I feel now.

I believe there are many families out there that don't actually have the heart to celebrate just like me.

May all your loved ones stay healthy and if they are ill, to be healed and get well soon.

Seriously, I spend more than half of my time overseas everywhere except at home.

And now that it’s winter everywhere else on top of me flying, spending a lot of my time in the plane, my skin becomes really dry. Especially when I’m in places like New York and Helsinki where not only it is super cold and snowing now, it’s also very windy which makes my skin even drier!

So I have been investing my money into body lotion, body butter but I must say that it can be quite annoying at times when I am already super tired or rushing for time but yet I still have to wait for it to be absorbed else it would just leave the sticky feeling and stuff. Thus, I tend to skip applying lotion some times.

But now, NIVEA has come out with a brilliant, awesome product that would help me solve this problem!

I used to always wonder why there is only conditioner for hair and not body. This way I need to necessary always apply on lotion after each shower isn’t it?

Well, NIVEA sure could read my mind.

NIVEA has produced their new In-Shower Skin Conditioner which helps solve the problem of dry skin!

This Skin Conditioner works just like hair conditioner!

It is really simple to use!

Oh no not only do I face this problem because I am traveling to cold places a lot recently. My skin has been getting all these time as in Singapore, we actually depends a lot on air-conditioning to keep us cool.

A very high percentage of us study or work in air-conditioned environment.

A very high percentage of us sleep at night with our room air-conditioned.

A very high percentage of us spend a lot of our time daily traveling on the road in trains, buses, cabs, cars. And what? Aren’t they all air-conditioned, too?

So yes, even living in this warm and ever-Summer country, our skin do get dry and sometimes even worst as compared to those in countries with all 4 seasons.

It's been a long long time since I last posted a blog post on my daily life.

Well, I have been really really busy with work and all.

Too many things have been happening recently so I really don't have the time and mood to just sit down in front of my laptop on post a proper post. Not to mention edit photos.

So yes, finally everything is settling down and I now am more ready to get back to blogging proper, too.

So mid last month in November, once when I went to Japan, my senior at work, Chloe, wanted to go see the maple leaves at 成田山 (Narita-san) so I decided to go see the maples leaves together with her before she accompanied me to 千葉 (Chiba) for shopping as I wanted to go GU to get some heat tech and winter coat.

Ok. It's gonna be just photos from here on.

Enjoy the photos!

Ok, that's all for this post.

Hope to be back again soon to share on more!

Which reminds me I have yet to post on my DisneySea and DisneyLand trip.

Monday, 16 September 2013

Sorry for not blogging regularly as I've been really busy with work and studies here in Japan.

I was editing photos on my day at DisneySea yesterday but am not done yet so I'll post it up soon hopefully within these few days.

As for now, I'm in my hotel lobby blogging this using my phone as I don't wanna disturb the cleaning lady.

Today is a public holiday here in Japan so I don't have work but then again, I have 2 tests tomorrow. So soon later I will have to go back to my room and study!

Not forgetting Friday having another test~

Ok so here are some photos to share with you first even though they could be quite back dated already...

My Doraemon sushi with collaboration with the anniversary of Doraemon back in... July? Or August? I can't remember already...

And as Monsters University was coming up and is still showing now in cinemas here, there's a huge loads of Monsters products around and yes! I love Mike yo!!

And yup! Got to know that there's a Limited Edition Monsters series of Unibearsity bears before I went DisneyLand a couple of weeks back so I went to the Disney Store hoping to be able to get any and I manage to get only the mini mobile strap Sully. The only shop that has Mike is in Nagoya.

OMG~ anyone in Nagoya can help me get? #thickskinned

I love convenience stores especially 7-11 here as I can somehow get proper food even if I don't travel out to get food.

Just look at the meat in 7-11 udon bento! Huge love! Plus they will help me to make it hot which is good cos I'm always taking forever to figure what how long must I heat up my food in Singapore's 7-11.

Here's a cute plane bun Aiza bought for everyone.

Super sweet of her...

Well, time passed so fast we have already been here for 2 months and soon in just 20+ days, we'll be going back to Singapore!!!

Although yes I miss everyone, everything (except foreign "talents") in Singapore, I think I will be missing the times all 10 of us here and one another just 1 meter away from each other.

Well, it's been one and a half month since I've come to Japan and I must say I miss everyone.

I don't exactly feel homesick but I sure do miss Singapore's food and of course my family and friends.

Maybe it isn't as bad for family part as my sis, my dad, my brother-in-law and my stepmom just came to Japan last week and we did get to have dinner together and also I got to spend some time with my sister and brother-in-law before sending them off at the airport back to Singapore.

It was a little hard I must say and seeing the tears in my sister's eye as I send them off is just hurting.

*Gosh. As I'm recalling this now, tears are in my eyes*

But ya! I'll be back in 38 more days so don't be too sad!

I'll work hard here so that I can go back home on time!

As for my mom, well, she's the only person I don't get to see at all as she doesn't own a 3G phone and she's just not IT savvy, I can't video call or Skype her or anything.

All I can do is give her a call over the weekend and talk to her.

We don't talk much to be begin with so our calls are usually really short but it's just enough knowing that everything's fine back home as she's living all alone for these 2-3 months.

As for my friends, I miss hanging out even if it's just a couple of hours or catching a movie over the weekends.

And I must say that really cried when I was watching their performance for Natsu Matsuri this year.

Well, yes, I was not able to join the performance last year, too, but it didn't feel as bad as I was still able to be there on the actual day itself. But this year, I'm just so far away...

Although yes I did get to enjoy myself at Matsuri here in Japan but it's just different without everyone.

No one to do ondos with me and etc.

But ya! I'm gonna be back soon and I just wanna give everyone a hug when I'm back!!!

Ok. That's all for this post.

I'm supposed to be scheduling posts but all these thoughts just came up so I decided to write this wordy post, first.

And oh ya! I found this .gif image in my Google folder so I decided to post it, too.

I'll try my best to blog as often as possible.

In the meantime, subscribe to my YouTube channel tsuriki13 and tsuvlog13 !

First! I am very sorry for the lack of updates because I have been super super busy and the only day I can relax every week I really take the time to sleep well and stuff. I have quite a lot that I wanna blog but I have yet got the time to sit down and edit the photos so not to mention blog.

My time is all spent on studying, travelling and baths.

Time is really running short I don't get to enjoy my relaxing baths often anymore!

Talking about baths, here's a video I posted 2-3 weeks back on bath products.

Sorry I've been uploading more videos again (almost weekly) as they really don't really need much time to edit.
And internet here is fast so uploading is not a problem, too!
